There is nothing better on the lead up to halloween, than watching countless horror and gorey films to get you in the scary mood. Teamed with buckets of popcorn, chocolate and plenty of blankets and you've got a perfect set up for a movie night!
So if you're in need for some inspiration on what to watch this halloween season, then I might be able to give you some ideas.
The Classics :
Pyscho, The Exorcist , Texas Chainsaw Massacre , Nightmare On Elm Street , The Evil Dead , Poltergeist , The Omen , The Shining , Alien and Carrie.
Its argued the classics are the best, and they are, in certain aspects. Turning heads, shower deaths a man with knives for fingers! All original, and all bound to get your spin tingling and covering your face with your blanket!
90's / 00's favourites :
Blair witch project , Silence of the Lambs , Misery , Scream , The Ring , The Descent , 28 days later , REC , Cabin Fever , Orphan , Cloverfield , The Others , Jeepers Creepers , The Strangers , The Last house on the left , The wrong turn , Amityville Horror , The Exorcism of Emily Rose , House of wax , The grudge , Eden Lake , The Skeleton Key , Sorority Row , Vacancy and Wolf Creek.
Modern :
The Loved Ones , The Conjuring , Drag me to Hell , The Babadook , Incidious , Housebound , Paranormal Activity , Sinister , The Purge, The women in Black , Annabelle , Mama , The Crazies , VHS , The house at the end of the street , Stepfather , The Possession , The Pact , Unfriended , The Visit and The last Exorcism.
Gore :
Saw , Hostel , Final destination , Would you rather , The Hills have Eyes and Seven.
Foreign :
Let the right one in , The orphanage and Martyrs.
I haven't watched many in the foreign horror film department, but those I have are bloody freaky. If you think reading subtitles would distract away from anything scary, I can assure you it doesn't!!
On the funny side :
Shaun of the dead , Zombie Land , Cabin in the Woods , Scary Movie , Evil Dead 2 , Warm bodies , Tucker and Dale vs Evil, The Addams Family and Little shop of horrors.
If you're not so keen on being scared then its probably best for you to stick to some of the funny ones. You can't gurantee there won't be some gore, nor a little bit of suspense. They are bloody hilarious though!
So there it is, a list of most of the horror films I've seen over the years. Whether you're looking to watch a classic, new horror or a 90's favourite, there is plenty to choose from this horror season. I think I'm going to try and watch some classics this Halloween.
I watched most of these movies, I like watching horror movies however after watching them I have hard time sleeping :) I remember watching omen then leaving the cinema like 1 at night then there were black dogs outside... scary!
